That's a cool looking find. Never seen anything like that before. No clue what it is but I like it. Congrats

There are two distinctly different sides. Where would the shank have been ?
Yes, Now that I look, I see that the writing is reversed on the sides like it has been stamped., I'm sorry for asking such a stupid question. Maybe it is a button as mentioned ? I searched different dynasty coins, Chinese, Japanese coins and didn't see anything like that. The lettering doesn't look Korean so I think we can rule that country out, which would have made sense if it were but I'm guessing it isn't. I'll keep looking for a button,since I have nothing better to do.

I wonder if that could be a wax seal? It's beautiful regardless. Great find, great post.

Manchu
I like the wax seal thought. The writing on it appears to be Manchu, you know as in Fu Manchu, and this guy has quite the stash. Qing Dynasty for Manchu I think as far as ruling. Manchu goes back a good ways though. Could be from Tibet, I'm just not up on my Asian history..Cool find though, very cool!!

Wax seal seems more probable than a button, why put the reverse on a button? With a wax seal, the person would know the orientation of the seal by having the reverse on it. Just my $.02
